Marriage
So in my beloved Commonwealth this Nov. the GOP has managed to get a referendum on gay marriage. It is worded in a cumbersome way that may scare some older voters that marriage is going to be abolished if they don't vote to uphold it. I can't believe that something like this is on my ballot, it's like asking the voters to decide if interracial couples should get hitched. If two people want to get married what business is it of the state? Virginia is a fairly conservative state, so this thing will probally go through, but our kids and grandkids will look upon this the way I look at my parents attending segregated high schools. A strange relic of a time when US citizens were willfully denied their civil rights.

They have to get these crappy measures on the ballot in as many states as they can. It may be the best way for them to get their mindless minions to the polls...
Yep, its a great way to mobilize the Moral Majority crowd, I think though that this year they may not get the turn out they were expecting.
Unfortunately, homosexuals don't qualify as a protected class, thus requiring legislation limiting what a homosexual can do not endure strict scrutiny, rather rational basis review. I see referendums like these presenting a false premise - that they are not limiting the rights of gays to marry, because gay individuals can choose to marry as freely as heterosexual individuals. The premise is false, of course, because heterosexual individuals get to choose that which fancies them, while a gay individual gets to choose from unappetizing items. I look at it like getting invited to an all you can eat steakhouse when you're a vegetarian. It's the same choice, but it's not exactly a fair choice.
Interesting site; I'll have to stop by again.
Hummmm..............(thinking)
And a big problem to those against homosexuality is they fear to lost control on society, ha, and worst, they fear to never be able to get a legal definition to homosexual; how many times sexual relations would happen to be one? How long? And the kids with each other? And what about inner and secret thoughts? Can they adopt children?
I think the major reason to these questions is that those who are against homosexual persons are afraid of their own definitions of being homosexual, cause they can fit in the profile.
Looking to present panorama, I predict a kind of law marriage to each sexual tendency: straight, homo, lesbo, bisexual, animal, etc. etc. with different taxes, perhaps.
But someone only look out for give interviews, going to colloquiums and speak loud on TV, but practically, they fear themselves swallowing their own words.
First of all what really count is the figure of the citizen and is RIGHTS and DUTIES, only then will come the rest.
I really don't agree with negative or positive discrimination.
But I also don't agree with imposition about sexual tendencies of one or others kind.
